" I can't believe this," DuBuis said in a stunned voice mixed with both disbelief and confusion after he read to his family gathered around the breakfast table the email he had just received from the board of Barrington Academy. The one saying that Gerald had been fired with his last day being tomorrow. " This is ridiculous. He had nothing to do with any of that mess Pamela Perkins did. "
Spencer had just finished reading How To Raise Happy Baby on his phone and was downloading Smart Baby , Happy Baby as he agreed. " I think they are making a mistake. Gerald is a good man and a good headmaster. Better than Kris Keller was at the other school. Although they both have awful taste in partners. "
DuBuis looked at his husband. " That's who they want to replace him. Kris Keller. "
Spencer almost dropped his phone on the kitchen table. " No ! Impossible. If that's true we are removing the children from that school. Immediately. "
With his pronouncement Luci , Sol and Theodore each showed horror in their faces.
Luci exclaimed," I am not going back there. I was bullied there. So was Sol. And even though Barrington is not perfect it's better. I also like Mr. Peters and Mr. Giadello. And the musical theater club and science club. I refuse to go back. "
Theodore said," I've never been to the other school but I agree with Luci. I like the teachers at Barrington. I want to stay there. "
And Alan was there too , he thought. He was not leaving Alan for another school.
Sol was the third agreement in the trio. " Yeah. Everything they said goes for me. Mr. Peters is the best teacher I've ever had. He's teaching me stuff about the environment and climate change that nobody ever did. He actually thinks I'm smart too. I ain't leaving Barrington. "
Luci pointed her finger with its long red fake nail at each of her uncles astonished faces. " If you both want to do something you need to get Dr. HighTower back at the school. It's wrong what they are doing to him. He's real extra about the school but I like him. He really cares about us all there. Ms. Keller didn't. "
Then she pulled out her phone and went to FireBook. She had a plan. She just hoped it worked.
